How to build mathematical resilience and reduce maths anxiety in children aged 10-13

School closures have been tough on everyone this year, and if you think your child might be suffering from increased maths anxiety our webinar will provide you with some actionable tips on helping your child overcome it.

Maths anxiety is defined as "a negative emotional reaction to maths leading to feelings of helplessness and panic". We all experience it in certain situations, but if your child experiences it on a regular basis, it can result in lower performance, and more importantly be detrimental to their self-esteem.

[For parents]

In this session, you’ll learn:

1. What maths anxiety is

2. How to spot the signs

3. Practical strategies to help your child cope

4. Actionable tips on helping them build mathematical resilience

Improved Human-AI Alignment by Asking Smarter Clarifying Questions

At Eedi, our mission is to support teachers in identifying and addressing students’ misconceptions in mathematics. That’s why we're excited by a new research paper authored by Kasia Kobalczyk, a PhD student at the University of Cambridge. Her paper, Active Task Disambiguation with LLMs, has been selected as a Spotlight at ICLR 2025 and offers a compelling strategy for improving the quality of AI-generat ed content and human-AI alignment. The twist? It’s not about giving better answers—it’s about asking better questions.

From Wrong Answers to Real Insights: How We Used a Kaggle Challenge to Map Student Misconceptions

At Eedi, we’re obsessed with a deceptively simple question: why do students get things wrong? We’re not talking about slips like picking B instead of A by accident. We’re talking about the deeper kind of wrong, like when a student always works left to right, ignoring the order of operations. These kind of mistakes reveal something something more profound: a **misconception**. If we can spot them, we can intervene and prevent a *misconception cascade*, where unresolved misconceptions lead to new ones.

Eedi’s Magic Number 🪄

Why 120 questions per year can transform maths progress in your class... At Eedi, teachers often ask: *“How many quizzes do my students really need to complete to meaningfully improve their maths?”* Thanks to a rigorous, externally conducted study, we now have a clear answer: students significantly benefit when they complete at least **120 Eedi check-in questions** over the course of a school year. Here’s what this means in practice — and why it matters for you and your students.
